C. does not state how his Cecile Brunner roses were treated, but, judg- ing from my own experience, I would advise him to grow them in a tempera- ture of 62 to 64 degrees at night. They cannot be grown successfully in a Kil- larney temperature; we have found the heat insufficient. In a warmer atmos- phere they carry through the short days satisfactorily.

Mr. Kuhl says the daily cut for De- cember from this one house, which is 172 feet long, has run from 300 to 500. In the illustration, Mr. Johnson, the grower, is to be seen standing in the center of the house. He has been suc- cessful with Richmond for Mr. Kuhl for the last three years, bringing them in just right for Christmas trade.
